With the Chromecast already hacked and rooted, and a public release for the Chromecast Cast SDK expected to be coming out early next year, and the preview version available for download today.
I was wondering what is stopping a full native port of XBMC for Chromecast "OS" as well?

Even if Google might not allow XBMC for Chromecast into the Google Play Store for whatever reason, there would be nothing stopping you from hacking and rooting your Chromecast to side load XBMC.

I think that a full native port of XBMC with HDMI CEC support would be a more popular platform than Raspberry Pi or Ouya because of the Chromecast low price.
If rooting and installation process for installing a full XBMC port on Chromecast could be made simple as jailbreaking and installing XBMC on Apple TV 2 you should have another unsanctioned success platform
